You can power your home or business with clean, affordable energy thanks to the unique way solar panels work. Westchester NY, Rockland, and the tri-state area receive enough sunlight to create all or most of the electricity you need. When that sunlight hits your solar panels during the day, it is converted into direct current (DC) electricity. Inverters convert DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity, used to power your lights, electronics, and other household appliances. Any excess electricity you create is pushed back into the utility grid. Your meter “spins backwards” and you’re credited on your utility bill at the full retail electric rate, a process known as net metering. Learn more here
